Remote Backend SWE
This is a contract position for one of our fintech clients. This person will be working within either the brokerage or crypto teams!
We’re looking for a backend engineer who gets excited about building things that don’t exist yet.
This is not a role for someone who only maintains or “tunes” existing systems - we need someone who can take a blank slate and turn it into a production-ready service.
You’ll be working on greenfield projects with a team that values speed, technical excellence, and ownership. This is a 6-month contract role with potential for extension and/or conversion, but in those six months, you’ll make a tangible impact.
Important:
You must be based in the United States.
We can’t provide visa sponsorship for this role.
This is a contract position, fully remote within the US.
This contract would be a W-2 position, we cannot do a 1099 or C2C at this time
What you’ll do
Build backend services from scratch - from architecture to deployment.
Design RESTful APIs and highly concurrent systems that handle real-world scale.
Solve complex engineering problems and make sound decisions about priorities.
Collaborate closely with other engineers to deliver fast, maintainable code.
Contribute to a culture of ownership: review code, share knowledge, and mentor where you can.
What makes someone a great fit
3+ years of experience in backend development.
Proven track record of building greenfield systems (not just maintaining legacy code).
Proficiency in Golang or Python (both are great).
Experience with cloud-native architectures (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker).
Strong grasp of REST API design, distributed systems, and concurrency.
